Civil War ancestor from New OrleansSaturday, November 22, 2008 8:10 PMFrom:I have looked high and low for info on Wm. F. Perry who joined the infantry for La. during the Civil War. He apparently was born in Maryland, but was residing in New Orleans during the war. He enlisted at Camp Moore in 1861 and I do have from Footnote.com and family (verbal) history the battles he was in, including Gettysburg where he was severely wounded (he had an arm amputation after that battle). But what I am trying to find is why he was in N.O. since he was from Maryland and whom his parents were (both listed as from MD. in census info he gave in years after the war). He for some reason moved to Columbus, Georgia after the Civil War. Here he worked as a clerk in a dry goods store and married in 1870 to a Mittie Bussey (I know through fam history as Mattie Elizabeth Bussey). I am searching for any info or family out there with a history of Perrys from Md. to Louisiana. Thanks for any info.
